AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
352 PM CDT TUE AUG 18 2015

.SHORT TERM [TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY]...A SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH THE
SOUTHWEST UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL LEAD TO AN INCREASE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING. COVERAGE WILL
DECREASE TONIGHT AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER COOLS. OTHERWISE...THE AREA
WILL REMAIN BETWEEN A WEAK UPPER TROUGH OVER TEXAS AND WESTERN GULF
AND A RIDGE TO OUR EAST. THIS WILL MAINTAIN A SOUTHWEST UPPER LEVEL
FLOW PATTERN OVER THE AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY...CONTINUING THE
UNSETTLED WEATHER CONDITIONS WITH OCCASIONAL ROUNDS OF SCATTERED TO
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS DISTURBANCES MOVE THROUGH THE
FLOW. HIGHS WILL AGAIN BE TRICKY DUE TO WHEN AND HOW LONG IT RAINS ON
WEDNESDAY AND A LARGE VARIATION CAN AGAIN BE EXPECTED. HOWEVER...MOST
AREAS WILL CLIMB INTO THE MID AND UPPER 80S.

THIS AFTERNOON'S WET MICROBURST RISK IS MODERATE.

[THURSDAY AND FRIDAY]...THE PATTERN OF WET WEATHER WILL CONTINUE AS
THE AREA REMAINS BETWEEN A WEAK UPPER LEVEL TROUGH EXTENDING ACROSS
THE NORTHERN PLAINS DOWN THROUGH TEXAS AND RIDGING THAT CONTINUES TO
BUILD IN FROM THE EAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF. AMPLE MOISTURE WILL
REMAIN ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA ON THURSDAY WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES OF 2.0 TO 2.3 INCHES. EXPECTING COVERAGE OF STORMS TO BE
HIGHEST ON THURSDAY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE
AREA.

DAYTIME HIGHS ON THURSDAY WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH INTO THE UPPER 80S
ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA WHERE POPS ARE 50 TO 60 PERCENT.
AS MENTIONED EARLIER...DAYTIME TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY WILL BE
TRICKY AND HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE PLACEMENT AND DURATION OF STORMS
IN THE AFTERNOON. BY FRIDAY...DAYTIME TEMPERATURES WILL REBOUND
SLIGHTLY INTO THE LOW 90S AREA-WIDE. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL REMAIN ON
REPEAT THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM WITH MID TO LOW 70S
INLAND AND UPPER 70S ALONG THE COAST EACH NIGHT. 07/MB

.LONG TERM [SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY]...THE AREA CONTINUES TO
TRANSITION OUT OF THE CURRENT SOGGY PATTERN AS MID AND UPPER LEVEL
RIDGING CONTINUES TO MIGRATE WEST ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF AND
SOUTHEASTERN STATES THROUGH THE WEEKEND. BY EARLY NEXT WEEK...THE
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE CONTINUES DRIFTING WEST AND BECOMES RE-ESTABLISHED
ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CONUS THROUGH AT LEAST MID WEEK. THIS
PATTERN SHIFT WILL DECREASE COVERAGE OF STORMS AND ALLOW
TEMPERATURES TO REBOUND BACK INTO THE MID 90S ACROSS THE AREA. HEAT
INDICES WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO REBOUND OVER THE WEEKEND WITH VALUES
RANGING FROM 103-107. 07/MB

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z ISSUANCE...VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE BETWEEN ROUNDS OF
